This wiki will document how to make changes to the site, how it works and the background behind it.
This site is built using a system caller Jekyll, which produces secure, fast and easy to maintain websites.
If you are going to add, edit or administer this site, then this guide will help you. Content is formatted primarily in an easy to learn text format called markdown, but if you know HTML you can use that too.
If you are confident with technology, then you could install locally, and if not you can edit directly on GitHub. The choice is yours.
We strive to write accessible, mobile responsive websites by default.
So are you technology minded? If so go directly to section 1 and learn how to get set up and then follow through the pages one by one.
If not and you just want to edit online, then go directly to section 4 and this tells you what to do. You should also read the guide to markdown and also the sections explaining how the site fits together.
The Egyptian Coffins project is deployed on gh-pages with a cname domain DNS setting applied. This provides free hosting, free SSL certificates and free security features and the use of a global content delivery network.

The site can be easily cloned and repurposed for other Fitzwilliam Museum projects.
